Squirrely Shirley

We’ll be leaving next month for Washington State to do our latest show, “Squirrely Shirley Digs up a Treasure Chest of Trouble,” and I’m excited! The plan is to leave a treasure chest (like the one I dig up during the show) at each library where we appear (there are ten libraries on the list). […]

It’s June already, and yesterday at the Douglas (AZ) Public Library, we gave our first “Squirrely Shirley Digs Up a Treasure Chest of Trouble” performance of the season to a standing-room-only audience (that’s called SRO in show business talk)!! What fun! I’m still excited about how good the show is and how great the kids […]

Last month I did two shows with Glenda Bonin, that storyteller person lady, during the Grow 2B Fit family fitness day at Apollo Middle School in Tucson, AZ. What a blast! Lots of kids and their families came to celebrate healthy choices. The day featured hands-on activities, like cooking and eating good stuff. They also […]

Woo-Hoo! What a grand time we had putting on the “Squirrely Shirley Meets Fry-Fry!” show to a huge crowd at the Great AZ Puppet Theater in Phoenix last Saturday. The National Day of Puppetry is always so much fun. I really excited about doing the show again, because we’ve added some new stuff to the […]

Well, April is going to be a big month for the “Squirrely Shirley Meets Fry-Fry!” show. We have three performances coming up on two different days. Get out your calendars and see if you can catch one of the shows! The first one will be at The Great Arizona Puppet Theater in Phoenix during the […]

Will you look at that? It has been three months since you have heard from me! As you know, we squirrels aren’t as active in the winter as we are in the summer, and this winter has been cold enough for me to just spend my time snuggling into my nest inside the tree and […]

I don’t know how it happened, but I forgot to touch base with you in November to tell you the exciting news about what we are cooking up for libraries next summer. It seems the Timberland Regional Library had so much fun when we performed “Squirrely Shirley Makes Waves” in 2011 that they want us […]

Last Sunday was really super! That story-teller-person-lady, Glenda Bonin and I did two birthday parties, and each one was really different from the other. “Squirrely Shirley Makes Waves!” was cool and groovy at Charlotte’s splash party in Tucson. Then we packed up the old tree in our wagon and drove to Ft. Huachauca to entertain […]

The picture of me as a Super Hero Squirrel that I promised to share with you is on the home page of that storyteller-person-lady, Glenda Bonin. Being part of the ‘super group’ is a fun thing, but there sure is a lot of work out there for heros to do! See you in the movies. […]

Has it already been a month since my last message? Wow! Summertime goes too fast for this squirrel – really, Even though I wear a fur coat, I love this time of year! That’s ’cause all the trees are green, the flowers are blooming. Isn’t nature great? I’ll never understand why people even bother to […]
